“Mas Las Cabes” Rouge

• Producer: Domaine Gardiés
• Region: Côtes du Roussillon, France
• Varieties: A blend of local grapes (often Carignan, Grenache, Syrah)

Craving a smooth, sun-kissed red? This Roussillon gem brings all the Mediterranean vibes—juicy fruit, spicy herbs, and a touch of earthy charm.

• Color: Deep garnet that practically glows in the glass.
• Aromas: Big notes of blackberry and black cherry, with a dash of peppery spice and a hint of wild herbs.
• Taste: Full-bodied and plush, it’s packed with dark fruit flavors balanced by a firm, yet velvety, tannic structure.
• Finish: Warm and lingering, leaving you with a gentle touch of spice and an echo of ripe fruit.
• Pairing: Ideal for grilled lamb, hearty stews, or a rich charcuterie board. Bonus points if you match it with smoky barbecue.
• Serving: Decant for about 20–30 minutes, then pour at around 16–18°C to let those big, bold flavors really shine.
